I also recommend “Paper Scanner Pro”. The current version has a recognition system that can detect many different types of documents and apply rules for document naming and storage. This goes way beyond paperport – it analyzes the scanned document and applies rules to name the scan and to place it in the correct folder. This is a document management system that uses artificial intelligence to automate your work.https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/paper-scanner-pro/9N7XGJXQF9N4?hl=en-us&gl=us
I hate to be a lone dissenter, but my experience with PP Professional 14 has been awful, downloaded from Nuance website. Ran troubleshooter get message “Incompatible Program” sought on-line support which took me to page reflecting support only up to Windows 8, (not 10) . Exhausted all I could do and attempted to call Nuance technical support live. Probably the only major company that says we will will call you back Monday during regular business hours…….. Frustrated with everything about this program and company.
Instead of paper port,the best scanner app I recommend is “Paper Scanner Pro”. The UI is a bit complicated in paper port. Paper Scanner Pro is the perfect app to scan receipts or notes and store it in digital form on your PC. I can easily manage all my docs on my pc and organize them in different folders. The app makes it easy to combine pdf’s, rearrange pages, copy pages, or export pages. It is an all in one document management app. Nice.
